100 PORTRAITS — 100 PHOTOGRAPHERSAndy Adams has put together a selection of portraits fromFlakPhoto.comarchive. He says: “For the past four years I’ve been publishing FlakPhoto.com, a website that features contemporary photography from an international community of artists. This fall, I teamed up with curator and Indie Photobook Library creator Larissa Leclair to produce a photo projection for FotoWeek DC.

“In the spirit of the public art projection in Washington D.C., I developed this digital exhibition so we can share the work of these artists with an international online audience, wherever they are in the world. Since launching in early November 100 Portraits has been viewed by more than 30,000 visitors from 24 countries.

“Online publishing and community collaboration are inspiring forces in my photo work and this project is another part of my mission to promote significant artists to a global audience of people who are passionate about photography.”

PHOTOSHELTER BEST PHOTO BLOGS 2010
Photoshelter Best of 2010 – Our Favorite Blog Posts of the Year asked photographers, bloggers, editors, and photo industry pros what caught links and blogs caught their eye this year in the online world of photography.

“Their answers, combined with our favorite posts produced a list that covers photo-centric topics from business and marketing, to social media, photo technique, legal issues, and the all important inspiration.

“The result, a list broken down into 9 different categories, is a collection of useful, inspirational, funny, smart, creative and simply brilliant posts that make us all a little bit smarter, and a lot more motivated to keep seeing, shooting, and sharing.”

I am co-founder of Tri-pod, a creative initiative supporting lens-based artists with personal projects in process, and am a regular contributor to Photofusion Photography Centre's website, as well as contributing essays to Hotshoe, a quarterly contemporary photography magazine. Previously, I was the editorial content manager and project developer of Frame and Reference, an online visual arts magazine for the South East from 2013-14.
